Eating Disorder Treatment
What is it?
Disordered eating can come in many shapes and forms such as Anorexia Nervosa, Bulimia Nervosa, Binge-Eating, Compulsive Overeating, AFRID, and Obesity Secondary to Eating Disorders.
In other words, you either restrict your eating to a point that’s unhealthy, eat large amounts of unhealthy food to the point of feeling sick, purge your food or get rid of it through laxatives or diuretics, or avoid and restrict food intake to a point where it’s unhealthy and dangerous to your well-being.
There are many reasons why people fall into the trap of eating disorders, but we are here to tell you that there is a way out. Our team of clinicians is experienced in dealing with those suffering from eating disorders and co-occurring conditions.
If you or someone you know is suffering from an eating disorder, they might show the following signs/symptoms:
Avoiding foods that they used to like
Avoiding social activities that involve food
Exercising excessively
Counting calories and weighing obsessively
Cook elaborate meals for others
Eating too much at once
Strange eating rituals or habits
Wearing baggy or oversized clothes
Constantly making negative comments about their bodies
ASK US ABOUT “TEMPERMENT BASED THERAPY WITH SUPPORT”
We are revolutionizing the treatment of eating disorders using a new modality that adjusts to
the patient’s temperament and traits and not the other way around. Patients in eating disorder
treatment, from outpatient (1-2 hours per week) all the way up to daily Intensive Outpatient
therapy (anywhere from 15-30 hours per week), are only in treatment 0.9% to 26% percent of
their awake hours. That all changes with TBT-S treatment.
Patients living with eating disorders must make food decisions 6 times per day. This is easy for
the non-eating disordered person, but a nightmare for those living in fear of food and/or weight
gain. TBT-S helps the client and their support system (family, friends, other outside support),
understand the inner workings of eating disorders and then learn how best to help. We view
the patient as expert in their own disease. The patient and supports leave programming with a
clear idea of how their eating disorder developed, how to cease reinforcing it and leave with
better skills to recover, outside of program.
